Griffinite

Pejorative – A politically reactionary individual. often of low-IQ coupled with limited education. Prone to exploitation by con-men and braggarts because of their child-like  need for an authoritarian father figure to give direction to their rudderless life. Will elevate a perceived ‘hero’ to the status of demi-god. Can develop an irrational attachment to individuals, to a level that can only be described as religious faith.

When the term Griffinite was first coined, it referred to a follower of a brand of nationalism espoused by Nick Griffin. A brand that was considered, by racial nationalists, to be a corruption of what they held to be the only ‘true nationalism’, because it shifted the focus away from ‘racial issues’.

However, recent events have, or should have, forced a semantic change of the term ‘Griffinite.

It no longer primarily means a nationalist that has rejected racial-nationalism. It means a nationalist that doesn’t even know what nationalism is or one that has forgotten its core tenets. A nationalist with no sound ideological grounding. A pure reactionary, dependant upon a ‘leader-figure’ to form their opinions for them. The leader-figure is, of course, Nick Griffin.

A Griffinite is a nationalist only so long as Nick Griffin tells them that they are. This is proven by the promises made by ardent ‘Griffinites’. They have repeatedly held British Nationalism to ransom, with the promise that they will ‘walk away’ from political nationalism if Nick Griffin is dethroned.

A Griffinite is not a ‘party man’, because a party man is always conscious of the welfare of his party and membership. A party, under parasitical Griffinism, is merely the social hub within which Griffinism is renewed and recycled for the consumption of long-term Griffinites and those poor fellows who suffer a year of it before falling off the ‘membership conveyor belt.

In fact, one of the most sickeningly ardent Griffinites, Paul ‘Green Arrow’ Morris, has stated that he will ‘retire’ from the blogsphere if Nick Griffin stands down. Morris is simultaneously the High Priest of Griffinism, promoting its sycophantic creed, and the worst sufferer.

Perhaps this ‘faith’ in Nick Griffin wouldn’t be much of a problem for the Nationalist movement if it wasn’t so overwhelmingly dominant amongst the rank and file.

And it will become a problem. When Nick Griffin is finally ousted by more principled nationalists, what then for all those who followed his diktats with a fervour similar to that of an Islamic fundamentalist?

How does the movement move on when it is carrying a large demographic that seemingly needs a fuhrer-type figure?

Will the movement descend into chaos as new leader figures emerge to challenge each other for Griffin’s crown?

The writing is on the wall. The whole movement is teetering upon chaos at the moment and Griffinism hasn’t even fallen yet.

It is akin to trying to take a bottle of grog from an alcoholic tramp. He’s going to fight you for that bottle, but when you finally take it away from him, he’s going to resent you for it – in much the same way Eddy Butler and members of the original BNP reform group are resented now, for trying to finish Griffinism.

Maybe Griffinism could be tolerated by decent people, if it didn’t involve criminality, nepotism, cronyism and most importantly, complete submission to the will of Griffin.

It follows then, that die-hard Griffinites are morally bankrupt and unprincipled people. A people whose belief in one flawed man’s power to lead them to eventually victory is not only irrational, but contradictory to key nationalist concepts.
